Let’s open a can of worms, shall we? Lance Armstrong is going to be racing here in my town this coming Sunday in the Half Full triathlon. For those of you who don’t know, the Half Full is a Rev3 event in the neighborhood of a 70.3 distance (more on that in a minute) that supports the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. Now, we [...]
Like I said last week, I really do think triathlons are more fun than running races. That doesn’t mean I’m going back to them, other than the occasional sprint, because running is how I’d rather spend my training time, but I have so much fun at tris. An Iron Girl event, being all women, being incredibly supported by the crowds, and being the place where [...]
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I’m doing two triathlons this season, one as part of Team Fight, which benefits the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults. I’d support this organization no matter what, because it is a fantastic one, focusing on a demographic that is often left without the proper resources when faced with cancer. But I also have personal reasons for [...]
If I have one piece of advice for a new endurance athlete, it’s never say never. If I had a dime for everyone I’ve ever heard say “I’ll never run a marathon” just after finishing their first 5k, or “I’ll never do an Ironman” after finishing up a sprint triathlon, just to see them turn around and do just that–you can finish the rest. I’ve [...]
A few weeks back I told you about the Rev3/Ulman Cancer Fund Virtual Run Across America. Well, let’s make that a virtual and REAL run across America, ’cause several people are doing just that, right now. They are studs for a fantastic cause. From March 26 through April 16, they’re making their way from California to D.C. After I posted about this run, I had [...]
This past week, I lost my brother-in-law Dale to cancer. He was only 44 years old, and was a husband, father to four kids, brother, son, friend–he was so much to so many people. His loss leaves a hole in my inlaws’ hearts that will never be repaired. Cancer sucks, plain and simple. I know I am not alone in having suffered loss to this [...]
Just wanted to put a plug in for another blog…www.runfastermommy.com. The woman behind this blog, Heather, has come up with a fun idea for raising money for a great cause. Heather has put together a spectacular goodie basket full of stuff all runners love–stuff like Gu, running hats and a road ID gift card. It takes just $5 to enter the raffle, which will be [...]
